The Vietnam Women’s Memorial honors all the women who served in Vietnam. The statue is part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC on the National Mall. It is commonly referred to as the Vietnam Nurses Statue.

I made this image looking through the center of a wreath the colors of which now make the haze of a frame surrounding the face of the wounded soldier portrayed in the statue. Behind a child wipes a tear from her eye as she pays her respects with her family at the monument.
